Written especially for exercise science and physical education students, this text provides a solid foundation in theory illuminated by application and performance models to increase understanding and to help students apply what they've learned in the classroom and beyond.
Key Features
New and updated content throughout all chapters addresses current ACSM certification categories; discussion of satellite cells as key to muscle growth and repair; comparison of cardiac and skeletal muscle; regulation of stroke volume; alterations in skeletal muscle due to exercise, inactivity, and aging; and heat storage in the body during exercise.
New illustrations in many chapters demonstrate the effect of body temperature on enzyme activity, liver/blood glucose interactions, effect of pH on enzyme activity, control of glycogen breakdown, and difference between lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease vs. normal lung function.
More applications and practical information throughout include coverage of the difference between lactic acid and lactate, sport and exercise-induced disturbances in muscle acid-base balance, calculation of body temp increase during exercise, leading vs. actual causes of death, and studies of how physical activity and cardiovascular fitness are related to the risk of heart disease and death (the Harvard Alumni Study and the Aerobic Center Longitudinal Study).
New references and readings in all chapters reflect the latest research and background information and complement classic entries.
The updated Online Learning Center features valuable resources for both instructors and students, including an Instructor?s Manual, Computerized Test Bank, chapter-specific PowerPoint presentation, self-quizzes, links to professional organizations, and more.
Develops the concept of homeostasis as a theme throughout the text to demonstrate the impact of exercise on all body systems
Enhances student learning through a wealth of learning tools, including beginning-of-chapter learning objectives, outlines, and key terms; summary boxes throughout each chapter; and end-of-chapter study questions, suggested readings, and references
Highlights exciting and new research in exercise physiology as useful information for all career choices in the field
Examines special topics in depth, reinforcing the text discussion and enhancing student learning, in "A Closer Look" boxes
Features clinical applications to health care, sports medicine, and physical therapy
Focuses on various approaches to sport that can make the difference between victory and defeat, in a feature entitled "The Winning Edge"
"Ask the Expert" boxes provide a look at what leading scientists have to say about important issues in exercise physiology
